Fox News commentator Jesse Watters wants an apology from “the Chinese people” for the coronavirus (COVID-19) and says that the virus began due to “very hungry” people “eating raw bats and snakes.”

“I’d like to just ask the Chinese for a formal apology,” 41-year-old Watters, who married a 27-year-old woman he had an affair with in January, said on “The Five” on Monday. “This coronavirus originated in China, and I have not heard one word from the Chinese. A simple ‘I’m sorry’ would do. It would go a long way.”

“I expect a formal apology tomorrow,” he continued. “It does not matter if it comes from Xi or the embassy, and I think all of my colleagues around this table will join arm-in-arm with me also demanding a formal apology from the Chinese people.”

Co-host Dana Perino then asked, “What if the outbreak had started here?” to which Watters responded, “It didn’t start here, Dana, and I’ll tell you why it started in China. Because they have these markets where they are eating raw bats and snakes.”

“They are a very hungry people. The Chinese communist government cannot feed the people, and they are desperate. This food is uncooked, it is unsafe, and that is why scientists believe that’s where it originated from,” Watters speculated. “And according to the New York Times, Dana, the Chinese government has been very deceitful and deceptive in the communicating the extent of the infections to the world. So, as I said, tomorrow I will expect an apology.”

He was supposed to be the new O'Reilly, it looks like he's surpassing that.

I started watching the movie Bombshell. I didn't think I'd last 15 minutes, but the story line keeps the attention, and Charlize does a top-notch M. Kelly impersonation. Pay attention to the quick comments and you'll come away with some insights regarding the attitudes of the minions.

No surprise. This is the kind of racist garbage that Watters and fox is known for.

Watters should apologize for fomenting racism.

How was it racist?

The issue is legitimate. The Chinese and other asians engage in some very dangerous activities. The same applies to Africans who eat other primates and then wonder why there is ebola. It happens in Latin America where some groups practice similar activity to the Chinese. There are Europeans who engage in unsafe practices too. This is an activity that has long been warned against. China (and Thailand) have been repeatedly told to stop over using antibiotics in their swine production. Did they listen? No they did not and it resulted in the massive infection of swine herds.

China has been repeatedly told to stop its cruel and unsafe practices. Practices that include torturing the animals on the mistaken belief that the blood of the terrified animal will bring power. The reality is that stressed animals become more susceptible to disease. China is a constant source of deadly infectious diseases and it is time to hold it responsible. many people have no hesitation in blaming the USA for global warming, well, how about holding the Chinese responsible for global plagues?

And btw, the tone of the article was set by the inclusion of this non relevant descriptive; “41-year-old Watters, who married a 27-year-old woman he had an affair with in January"

How was that even relevant to the story?

I can't stand Fox and find the abomination of Fox & Friends in the morning putrid, but that still doesn't mean that the man did not make a valid point.
